What ‘last straw’ sparked the end of goalie Connor Ingram’s tenure with Lightning?

TAMPA, Fla. — With every failed relationship, there is a breaking point. “That’s where things were said — that was the last straw,” Ingram’s agent Blake Evans told The Athletic Friday. But said, ‘I’d rather be in the coast playing than up here.’ “Many guys would say, ‘Please don’t send me to the coast,’ where Connor is like, ‘If you’re not going to play me here, send me down,’ which was the right thing for the Lightning to do.” Ingram will get a fresh start with the Predators, where he’ll likely report to AHL Milwaukee. “Everywhere I’ve been, nobody’s really given me a shot,” Ingram said at the time. This isn’t going to be a game-changer for me.” The best line may have come from Solar Bears coach Drake Berehowsky, who was happy overall with Ingram during the time he was in Orlando.
